Some of us work very hard to be called twink, thank you very much. I'm still a notch or two too manly to have earned the title Not that the cold french toast stick I just crammed in my mouth was helping me any there. I'm going to cry alone in a corner and eat salad now.

In Britain we have these chocolates called Yorkies. On the side, written in bold print, are the words "NOT FOR GIRLS!" Printed all over the wrapper are anti women signs and so far I don't think a single complaint has been made.
If your 6 year old children told you that a boy had been chanting boys are better than girls, would you sue the parents?

No, but I might encourage her to make fun of him in return, and take it as friendly jabbing because he has a crush on her.

Yeah those sexist Yorkie adverts always made me laugh, have you seen the ones we get in military ration packs?
We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.

Its like they're trying to be like the Yorkie adverts (its not for girls), but in a less satirical way. Sure the Yorkie ads are sexist, but at least they try for humour. Meh, I guess they're just aiming the product at what their expected market-ie dumbasses.
Id be in heaven if I had an unlimited salad bar for every meal. Unlike some foods, you can always find something fun to add to a salad to make it different than the last one

Back in my day the only thing we got for dessert was salty lemon juice poured into our eyes.
Oooh lucky you that sounds like fun. I take it that by "kinder and gentler" you mean that the drill sergeants (is that right?) don't scream obscenities at you any more or call you demeaning names like girlyboy or nancy?

Yeah, that's wasn't lemon juice, although I can assure you it was both salty and freshly squeezed.
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

I like salad for breakfast.

How many forums do you watch over? Almost every single one I've been to has someone posting pics of asian women.....

They can be a Major Payne.

So what exactly does a Yorkie taste like? I'm imagining some kind of Nestle Crunch type candy bar....
There are quite a lot of adverts that are sexist in some way or another...
That said unless the people who write/create these adverts actually come out and say it i don't think you can really accuse them of being sexist...
Annoying? Yeah. They are always that...
Especially the Go Compare adverts... if i ever find the man/women/communist spy/alien infiltrator i will kill him/her/it/it.

Any commercial with a woman in the kitchen or scrubbing a toilet is a thousand times more sexist than that. That was a parody on manliness, and nothing more. It's not like they showed a woman being hit in the face for back-talking or something.

It's amazing, actually; basic story is that Major Payne is a commando who has "killed everyone who needs to be killed". When he gets layed off, he gets setback after setback in the civilian life. His Commander gets him one last shot; JROTC program at a local school. Basically, the rest of the movie is him making the kids lives a living hell, and them trying to get him thrown out. It's quite hilarious.

@ The OP, I can see where you're coming from but not really sexist in my view. We know he's joking and what can you expect from some guy who dresses like Bear Grylls on drugs?

There's loads of sexism in ads. That's just kind of the nature of the beast, but it goes both ways. In fact, I'd say for every stupid Lynx ad objectifying women, there's at least a half dozen stupid ads showing the husband as a hopeless buffoon while the wife puts up with his stupidity with the patience of a saint. Given guys still pretty strongly dominate powerful positions, I'd say all that anti-guy sexism in ads is pretty harmless, and so there'd be even less reason to worry about the mild sexism like in the Dr Pepper ad.
More to the point, that's a really, really gak ad. Apart from looking really cheesy and not being funny, it's also a really stupid way to sell fizzy sugar water. I mean, they're basically trying to claim 'only men can handle our particular type of fizzy sugar water'. Goddamn that's stupid.
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Yeah, those "smart woman dumb man" commercials make my inner feminist cringe...

now I have seen some German commercials that are pretty sexy, and then there is that add for a dutch washing machine that has hundreds of naked women skydiving, they never once show you a washing machine mind you. Those aren't even really sexist as much as sex sells.
this add is just nerdy
